\ When 3000 01 us descended on the campus in August fo r fall registration, doors were opened for individual new beginnings .

In whichever way we set out to expand our horizons, we were always joined by others headed in the same direction, just not necessarily on the same course . From the first day of taking up residence in the dormitories, we were confronted with the task of living in a high-density atmosphere packed with people . Some made friends with an unexpected third roommate in Cathcart or Armstrong Halls, then all proceeded to line up for the "chapel lottery" to find out to which compass point we would head daily at 9:00 a .m. and who would be our partners in the semester-long ordeal of three chapels. And until meal tickets prices were adjusted in January , we hunted up the surviving Heritage meal tickets to make sure we had something to eat. We formed opinions on traditional issues that became cogent because of events in the nation and the world . We reevaluated the United States' role in the international community - particularly in dealing with the Soviet Union and the countries of the Middle East - and our responsibilities as citizens on the eve of national elections and draft registration .
